Holy crap, I was reading the court documents and it states that the Rhoads family supplied Margolis with

"In reliance on the Margolis-Rhoads agreement, the Rhoads family contends itcontributed access to Randy’s musical equipment that had been in storage for 30 years;personal, private photographs of Randy and other members of the family; personalphotographs and film footage of Randy obtained from Rhoads family friends andneighbors; access to Delores’s home, access to Randy’s automobile, costumes, jewelryand shoes; access to Delores’s music school (now operated by Kelle); access to Randy’sgravesite (including opening of the bars to the tomb); access to Randy’s church and the“meditation garden” dedicated to his memory; original music and a music schoolperformance; photographs of Randy’s deceased body; the autopsy report andintroductions to Randy’s family and friends, including Osbourne, his wife Sharon and Alice Cooper. The Rhoads family believes the materials provided by them remain inMargolis and Klein’s possession.

Holy crap on two counts. One the Randy film statement and the other being pictures of his deceased body? Wow...my jaw dropped a little when I read that.

Although my allegiances lie with the Rhoads Family (and always will), I am SO glad that I got these books. The two highlights of the book for me are the postcard he sent Jodi about playing Boston (which is where I live) and the Diary of a Madman recording track listing with the working song titles and the length of each recorded track (do a little math, and subtract the album length of each song from the engineering track length and see how much of Randy was left on the cutting room floor after the song fade out).

I didn't even know who Ozzy was when they played the Orpheum Theater in Boston on May, 1981, so the only other thing I'd want from this date would be live photos and a bootleg recording so I can imagine what it would've been like to be there.
